🐟🍋 Red Snapper in Velvety Lemon Cream Sauce 🍋🐟
Ingredients:
2 red snapper fillets
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 shallot, finely chopped
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons capers
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
Instructions:
Season the red snapper fillets with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the fillets for about 4 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add garlic and shallot, and sauté until fragrant and translucent.
Add lemon zest, lemon juice, heavy cream, and chicken broth to the skillet, stirring to combine. Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it thicken for about 5 minutes.
Stir in capers, parsley, and basil and cook for an additional minute. Return the snapper fillets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them, and simmer for another 2-3 minutes. Serve hot, garnished with extra herbs if desired.
